Can anyone tell me the nearest station to the Chinese Embassy in Seoul? Had a look on the website but everything is in Chinese and Korean

thanks

The consulate is at the bottom of the tram at Namsom. i can't recall the exit, I think its Donguk.

myeong dong station...exit 2 or 3........if you are going for a visa, just get it through the travel agent....that embassy is a freakin mess....closed everyday for lunch which results in huge lines every morning and afternoon

The latest Escort Seoul map I looked at, had the Chinese consulate located at Tongui Dong, west of Gyeongbukgong Palace. There is a Gyeongbukgong subway station. Take exit 3.

Ignore that advice. Namsan / Myeong Dong consulate for Chinese visas.

LP had a recent thread:

On the visa application form for China, it says:

'Relative, inviter or contract' who am i supposed to put for this?

I heard that starting from the beginning of this year, the Chinese Embassy would no longer be open to personal callers (i.e. you have to submit your visa application through a travel agent). Perhaps someone can confirm this.
